Credit Note 

Customer Balance Transaction 

Each customer has a Balance value, which denotes a debit or credit that’s automatically applied to their next invoice upon finalization. You may modify the value directly by using the update customer API, or by creating a Customer Balance Transaction, which increments or decrements the customer’s balance by the specified amount.

Customer Portal Session 

The Billing customer portal is a Stripe-hosted UI for subscription and billing management.

A portal configuration describes the functionality and features that you want to provide to your customers through the portal.

A portal session describes the instantiation of the customer portal for a particular customer. By visiting the session’s URL, the customer can manage their subscriptions and billing details. For security reasons, sessions are short-lived and will expire if the customer does not visit the URL. Create sessions on-demand when customers intend to manage their subscriptions and billing details.
